Mar. 28 :: The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert

Ninfest on location at this event in San Francisco

Bullshit come to Detroit you bastards!

Hopefully the tour continues throughout the year. I noticed there aren't any dates for October through December. Maybe they'll add more dates later?

I posted this on facebook...but this event was the second largest in history behind the birth of Jesus. lol. Totally worth it. They had a big screen hanging over the orchestra showing clips from many of the Zelda games. They played the music in time with the events on screen, almost telling the story of each game with music.

The conductor lady you might recognize from the videos on Nintendo Channel was there, but she was really pregnant. Looked like she was a month away from birth! Hope that doesn't create any show cancellations. They were selling concert T-shirts and Zelda posters there, which I'll put pics up of later.

The place was filled with an assortment of nerds. People dressed up nice in suits and ties, some cosplaying dressed as Link, Midna, Fi, or just elf ears and Link hats, and then there were those like me that just wore Nintendo themed apparel. I wore my DK shirt and Bowser's Inside Story beanie. They had a wine bar and coffee bar for the thirsty patrons. Also, IGN was there doing interviews.

Here's where I'm pissed. I was expecting to get hundreds of streetpasses there. For some reason I didn't know that the 3DS caps at 10 streetpasses at one time! You have to greet the 10 you meet before getting any more. RAGE! I did not know this so I came home with only 10. Even the seldom used Sound Steetpass I got 23 of. I never got more than 8 before so I was not aware.

I was wondering why so many people at intermission had their 3DS out. They all probably knew.

I wish more of you could witness this event. It truly is epic. Honestly, it will probably go down as the third biggest event this year in gaming for me behind the launch of Wii U and E3.

Jealousy.... rising... must.... get... tickets!

IM GOING TO THE CANADA ONE!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDD

You get me ticket for my birthday? I'll go with you...

You buy my passport, ill buy yer ticket.

Silly. Just go to the one in Atlanta. We'll have a road trip.

Um... Atlanta is WAAAAAY further than Onatario for me, dude. LOL
And even with passport purchases... still cheaper! lol Damn gas!

Okay, just drive to my house and I'll drive the rest of the way.

Awesome you're getting to go Z! I think you're gonna like it, just a hunch. Antilles, you said there's gonna be one in Atlanta also? You must go by all means necessary.

It's soooo expensive. I don't know if I can swing that much. I realize that's a good price for what you're getting, but that doesn't change whether or not I've got that much lying around.

ISK... $115 (thats with Club Nintendo's discount) is a bit steep. I did get floor seating 10 rows from the front tho.
